Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for testing a capacitive touchscreen, and a mobile terminal, which can improve testing efficiency of the touchscreen. The method includes obtaining a response information set for a touch operation according to a response of a touchscreen to the touch operation in a preset area, and determining that a working state of the touchscreen is abnormal if the response information set for the touch operation is inconsistent with a preset response information set, where the preset response information set is the response to the touch operation in the preset area when the working state of the touchscreen is normal. The embodiments of the present invention are applicable to the field of touchscreen technologies.
